MAKE THAT JOKE
I forgot the joke….
MAKE THAT JOKE
Congratulations! One small step away on such a big milestone! Hope to see more appointments coming in for all those lingering here.USNA conditional appointment received, just gotta do the body fat form now!!
I'm a Assistant Command Fitness Leader (ACFL); I'm assuming your "body fat form" is a Body Composition Assessment (BCA) which is done each year during the PFA cycle and which ACFLs conduct. Feel free to PM me and hopefully I can answer any questions.has anyone ever done taping before? i'd like to pm some questions. nurse at my school couldn't do the taping and now i have to see my primary provider for it
Congrats Blinkus!!USNA conditional appointment received, just gotta do the body fat form now!!
It is always darkest before dawn. Until your DS gets a TWE, he is still in the hunt. He has only weeks left before he likely will know either way. After waiting months, a few more weeks isn't that much. Best think might be to tell him to stop checking every day and go once a week. Focus on other things and don't talk about USNA. There is nothing wrong with focusing on the plan B some right now. It is hard, believe me I know, but it will help.The Waiting & Speculating has now taken a turn for the worse in my opinion.
DS is thinking that USNA just isn’t that into him. He believes (as do I) that he’s a very strong candidate, but must be lacking something the Navy desires.
There are NROTC Commands that are still communicating with him while the Navy is silent.
I’d prefer Navy, but I understand the frustration with the never ending Rolling Admissions process. More like a Rolling Brick!
Good Luck to everyone.
Yep it’s a roller coaster. Awaiting on the outcome I have determined to support whatever decision my son makes based on that outcome. I’ll understand if he accepts, reapplies, or re deploys. I’m aware they could make him better, he could make them better, it was meant to be, or it wasn’t.The Waiting & Speculating has now taken a turn for the worse in my opinion.

There is an end to the Admissions Process and it is advertised as 15 April. Some folks get pulled in earlier than that but as has been said many times on here, it is not "Rolling Admissions" in the same way that most civilian schools (including the one where I teach) are.The Waiting & Speculating has now taken a turn for the worse in my opinion.

... so our situation was the reverse. That other school by the wilderness rejected DS in December timeframe. USNA came in March.The Waiting & Speculating has now taken a turn for the worse in my opinion.

Define "healthy"
After all, it was a lot of excess fat
I believe my DS’s BGO said it perfectly. Annapolis is separating diamonds. Even if you don’t gain an appointment, you are still a diamond.There are more pieces that fit into the puzzle than the puzzle needs. It isn’t a reflection about the puzzle pieces that aren’t used.
OMG CONGRATS!!!!!!!! IM LITERALLY SO HAPPY FOR YOU OMGG
You’ll be good. DS had to do this same thing last year - he had a FQO in less than 5 days after submitting it.was worried about nothing again . finished taping, came back at around 18% bf on some online calculators. Hopefully the full order comes soon!
